Last time on no latency. You want me to cut his legs off to just the arms was good enough so he can't attack. No, no, we're so racing cars. I just want to make sure that my car is the same as his car for one second job. I thought you were going to challenge any to a foot race. The only true way to find out who's the better racer guys if you want yeah? Huh sure did. Yeah wait stranger and Sawtooth father of the Steve's all three of you now Now need to do a lot of things.

So get ready, I would like to offer you a position working for me. I would hire you under biotechnical but you would be a personal assistant of mine, but I think that you might make a good Netrunner. They what? Gotta pay me. You're gonna owe me a favor for layer of flavor. Yeah, and you can't say no. Hold on. Y'all get a tank? Yeah, we gotta. It's a cloning tank. Oh, it's all like a note and all got guns or nothing. No, no tracks, no Treads? No, no, it's it's this right here, right?

Yeah. Oh sure. Yeah, I can pick that up. I'm gonna I'm gonna toss. Jeb, both arms. 40. 300. Yeah, I'll grab this again. Don't eat us. I'm not gonna eat them. What do you think? I'm some sort of monster or something. Your tile goes off. It's time for you to take your meds. Look I won't be a ball stir. I'm telling now, bro, resistant to drugs. It's really interesting that your alarm to take your drugs comes at like really funny time.

Times the times that whenever we mention, oh, it's apropos. Every time to eat things. It's very funny. Yeah, it's almost as if somebody remembers you have to take it and then they ask you to do it. It's not like Ghana official time or anything like that. Well, look, if it weren't for about 10 more out for hit every time. What are the hours? Like what, when does your timer

go off? Yeah, but it was just a, I just accepted the the timer request from Because so it's all about technical staffs kinda leans into Iona. I have a button and I think it'll be funny. I push them up and you just do that once a day, sometimes twice its death consistent, the by the command, from biotechnical said to have fun with it. Oh, is this not the fun? That's that's gotta be bad for me.

I know it sounds very fun. I was just commenting on how fun it was and now that I know that you're behind it until you are very fun. Thank you. All right. Can we clone my master please? I mean we'll buy him dinner first but hold on hold hold. Also know you're telling me you guys got a clone and tank to clone your master. I mean, is it even your master of that point? Or are we going to just brush over that a moral quandary? I don't care.

He is dying. Hey. Want to make sure he does not die. Well. Yeah. But wouldn't he still died and yours? Get a copy of them. Like that's like that's like saying like, oh let me take a photo copy of this piece of paper and then Shred the original. You still have a copy, I mean. Okay, so we're just going to more of the original got shredded. And we're trying to make a photocopy of this shredded so that way we can have a somewhat visible copy.

Yeah, it's like, we took all of the paper out of a paper shredder, and we're trying to put back together. The original copy and we're just filling in the paper that we can't find stranger Master. Is the pieces in between stranger Hang on pops up from the bar. I thought stranger was with you. Mmm, I died. He stayed here to help. Well, I mean, I mean, yeah. I mean you guys were getting the tax but that was that was yesterday. Isn't he always here?

Yeah. the door to the, to the bar, opens up and stranger walks in, and he is beaten up and bloody I may have fucked up. Go on. What? Well you guys with the tanks and all that stuff. You brought them here and I was like, hey let's celebrate clear my head until that stuff arrives. So I thought I'd play some cards. I heard they had a vending machine and I was like well I'm good at cards and wiggles with his teeth. Oh shit. Alright stranger hold on, hold on. Who is they?

Well there's this hard place in the combat zone and I was like well I could win the vending machine although I did not. Does anyone have like a spare? 30,000 Eddie's. I can just type today early thousand man. I just made the most amount of money I've ever had in my entire life and I don't got less than half. Of that. I'm just saying, I'm know, I'm normally like a pretty lucky kind of guy. Hold on, let me check my entities and see where they're at one second. Your aunt fds.

Yeah. Yeah. My a duct is they gave me a savings bond a long time ago and I kind of put it in the stock market. So wonderful, this is all great stranger but my Master's currently dying. I thought we were Do this first? Yeah. If I don't bring them the money, they're gonna come here and kill me. So now good thing. It's a secret bar is good night. I've been, he may have said, all right. Well, I do have a little extra 30,000 Eddie's. What I'm sorry. Hold on.

What do you intend to get myself in GM and stock market plus how much you got? Cause I got about a whole lime, take a look here. I've got, I got 13:5. I have just over 12. We're getting close. I have 8,000, well, we are, you go. Yeah, actually, what we'll, what they're all the money that we have collectively, we have enough to make it. So, stranger doesn't get killed and then he doesn't get rated. Yeah, but I know I've never, I've never had anyone told me

money. I've always been the one that owes money. Oh yeah, we understand that. But no offense. Stranger, I've never seen you bring in any kind of money. Well that that's what I was trying to do. They've got one of the vending machines. So now it's gonna cost us. 30,000 plus more to get the vending machine. I swear, I had the best cards you've ever seen. He beat me every time, it was probably cheating. Oh yeah. oh, Shit. All right.

We'll go over there and kill everybody for you, but first, can you please help me fix my master? All right, and then we'll fix your problem, right? Yeah. Oh, well, I can, I can start that. Download you lack? Yes. So we will download does take some time. Hey, ping. Yeah, you know, that really loud like scary noise like Iowa or rink. I kind of noise. Yeah, if you hear that, coming from the basement will. You do something about it. Sure, that's really descriptive

ping. Are you sure you understand what he means? Well, I'll be all right. I used to work with Domino. That's all three will too. Okay. And so you, for sure, this is the only way to save my Master's to clone a body and transfer his mind. Maybe, well, we can start by cloning a body. It's probably a good start that that zero guy downstairs he probably could help, you ain't got no arms so he can tell you what to do. All right. Well, do I have to come with you

to the place? To do the killing or to the clown it? No, I mean, Mark if you're just going to go there and if they cheated then maybe like you could teach them a lesson because I've actually kill him bite me, or her. Yeah, we'll call them all. I'll solo shouldn't have way. So is this where we ask for money and then you still owe us money? Again, I'm sorry, I'm new with. I'm new at this whole in debtor thing. Well, I Do do a lot of things

for you guys for free. Like, I'm gonna make like this really important object with all the vending machines and say, not asking for much. No, no. You're asking for, thirty thousand dollars worth just to be very clear. Well, if they cheated, then I don't want to give them no money. Yes. We also don't want them to be alive because they know where the bar is so they can tell all sorts of people. So I promise I won't tell any

more people about the bar. Please just don't even leave the bar and I would recommend staying here and not causing any other program. All right? Well, this is the last time, this one quick creates kind of a quest for you guys, so that that might be up to take. Yes, I understand just in the future except Quest. What's this fucking exclamation mark about that is except class skip skip skip? All right, let's go. Wait, how did you know exactly how I play RPGs?

How did you know that? Like I don't know what you said and I'm going to follow the map marker. Yes. Where do we go? All right, let's go. Do you guys need. Okay. So we're following the map marker. No, I get that. But also do you want to go anywhere before you head to this place? Do you want to find anything else about it? You want to do any like, research. Do you need to repair any armor and not to poke? But it's been a few weeks.

And I just want to make sure that you've double checked in your she said, skip Gibbs, Gibbs. Well, I for sure would like to get some replenish of armor. Also, are we re healed by this point? Yes, you are. And then, yeah, I would probably like, to talk to a fixer about whoever stranger owes us money to bang. Yes, right. Do you know anything about What stranger has gotten himself into? Was it shocks cards, stranger, yep. Yep, that's the one.

Well, that just sounds ominous right off the bat. Yes. Well they're a big ticket item card house in the combat zone. You fight your way to the table. It's what they say. If you don't actually do much fighting, you just play cards and a threat, Okay. So, all right. Now, I don't mean to be, I don't mean to be a nuisance but I have had my fair share of successful poker nights. And well, I think we might be able to beat them at their own game. Yes. And no II.

Just knew Jeb that you were like, whoa. It's poker. I could probably beat them and we could win our money back and more, and the vending machine and then kill him because they know where the bar is. Wow, you said it just like me. Have you been doing? Are you practicing? And no, I guess. I just Listen to you a lot that's fire. Yeah, I would say almost spot-on. I couldn't tell for a second Shucks Shucks.

Scott's is front by Geico Chuck, not very creative because I easy friends with tuna Ridley now because they're both fish shark and tuna, it was like they would be enemies. Yeah I would go with you where I actually don't think that it's shocked. Some tuners. Don't get along in the wild. Do you know I'm gonna say right now that they do get along in the wild tune the yummy tasty fish. Welcome interior, yummy tasty fish, sharks, eat all kinds of nasty fish.

And also the tasty words, I like to thank, I promise. On my tile time ago, can we? We go. I'm gonna look it up in my tile. You guys were. Let's hop in. Benna. Okay, I'm gonna look it up. I'll come back to you. Did you want to know anything else about? Yeah. What's what's the cheating policy? There. No card counting pay on the day but I have had been cheating is no card counting in accounting for drink minimum now leaving the table. No weapons.

Hey on the day, no exceptions. Oh well it was a for drink minimum that I got us covered. So the debt that stranger has to pay has Paid by the end of tonight. Also, I have some, this is, this is not Jeb, talking, this is me talking. Bad news. Actually Jed sucks at gambling. I didn't realize that it was legitimate, a legitimate skill with a objective. Number two, it, he's not good, not good. How many checks out could you raise it?

I actually do have a fair amount of improvement points that I could do that. You know what's carts? Please Jeb's gonna take a second and he's going to figure out how to use these these Improvement points specialist. I'll buy your driving gonna wipe just looking up how to gamble, how to gamble. Oh, what's your, what's your gamble skill? Its intelligence, which you'll never believe this. But his intelligence is actually decent but there's no level like I did not put anything into

gambling. So it's your gamble. Level Todd, how intelligence? Yeah, I five a five intelligence. Oh, I guess I have innate intelligence. That's really good. Yeah, my grandpa was sweet. Am I gonna be Amber, you're good. Oh, you don't worry. I'm doing some under some quick reading. Hold on a sec. Well, I hadn't tried to. I got a you what they vandals. Also. Looking up gun gambling, a book in the van. Are you the ringer? I don't actually know what that means. Are you the edit says the one

that everyone thinks isn't good. Oh, it's my first time. EG that should that bet they need better? Typography. That should be all the way around each. An and often is really good secretly. I mean I've gambled once or twice. I mean I've family dinners and things like that, usually turn into a few glasses of whiskey and a cigar or two over cards. Yes, I'm Terry. Do you money kind of with that Manpower? Which, you know, time is money. Oh I can I could try to help.

I'm really good at Old Maid. Also really good at Solitaire old. A shark's to eat tuna. The, why would you think otherwise? I don't know, some sharks. Where are you? Where are you driving us? Remy. Well, we're going first off. I think we're going to make a pit stop over to our friend. Pull that up real quick. I could improve to my gamble up until up to level nine right now. But you're gonna burn all of those Those points on that. Then yes.

If it's the rest of the party allows Jeb to be the gambling man. Then yes, I will spend it all. Who's this? A dirty have one person has a right now and forever be benign. If I don't I'm making a stop the Clive's place because I gotta, you know, get my armor fixed up a business. I also have to get arm hurt there. Yeah, that's great. Shop outside of Clive's. Click. He's had a door installed. Oh these why are the brakes making this awful noise? Don't worry about that.

That's that's fine. Just don't sound so sure that those jab content in heaven. Ensign P, MCS got to make sure you do that. P MCS. Please Mary. Susan, be MCS and service. Come on. Oh the MCS please. Marry Susan Curtiss. You guys go inside a climb. I'm inside class. Yes, you're right. It's nice to see you. Hey, Clark, I'm gonna go ahead and give him a high five. Right. A high-five. See with this third arm. How's it going? It's going. Alright. Could be better.

I gotta get I gotta get my armor fixed up. Fuck yeah, we will handle it up like well, anyone who needs that aren't fixed up. You just drop it in front of me and I'll still working on that. Okay, I'm who needs it? I take Rendell and my half Shields. I'll give them to Clive recharging of those, not a problem. Here's the leather duster. Just go ahead and get It just passed that right up. Don't smell it. All right. He puts on a mosque, whatever it is.

That's probably biased. Remy will drop his chest armor Jack on the table. So now he's just topless and like the, I got to get that fixed. How many pieces that Let's say, simple armor repair is 150 each item. Yeah, cool. That seems fair cease fire. She need any ammo or grenades or anything grenades? Yeah, I'll take a stab. The night, five grenades. I've got eight, regular frag for smoke, got one flash then. I got one of those sand grenades. I'll take the 22.

To smoke. You know what make their three smoke to the regular pad? All right, the the smoke of 50, the one of the the explodey ones are 90 you do the math. All right, it's on. You got anything new in Clive, nothing crazy! I've got new site for the weapon. Give you plus one ticket. Only one doesn't work on shotguns because that's ridiculous. Actually, I would love to be of more help in a gunfight. Yes. What kind of gun? One. Would you like? All right, well, here and I hand

over my my plus 3 heavy pistol. This isn't that? You've got a lot of upgrades on this. I do it's because I apparently, I'm a very bad shot. There was one time the first time that we ever. At did the Domino thing. We was a really good shot but now I'm not for some reason you want the the also increasing it would do it for me. Yes. So you take a shot away from the gun. You can only shoot once because one of those shots has to be acquired Target. Gives you plus 5 to hit.

Yes, I would love that. Actually, that's all right, that attachment for that weapon is 4000 Eddie's are Right here, you are, right? They got it. Just clicks on. Oh, yeah. And then, they make sure you press your Nano fiber against the side. And it syncs with your I just mean, no one else gets that bonus with that weapon. But, you know, + 5, thats 5. So it's so now my heavy pistol is Plus, 8 is what you're telling me. Yes, you ridiculous motherfucker, great.

That's an only shoot it, once. Yes, I changed my rate of fire to one. You want to shoot it twice. You can undo that you lose your five. Okay. You just see. Look his clicks on and off. Don't play with it. It's it's harder to get off than I thought it would be. It's slide firm came sliding but the Clippers. Oh, okay. There you go. That's great. Gent is you take the glas? Grenade, not just took three smokes and two regulars. What do they call them? Ones?

Could be explodey once crack. Now what I do is wonder what fresh mints of things inside it. Bragg manse. Well that one's Clive. Clive said it's frustrating. I got you. That makes a lot of sense. You know. I always all I was just calling the reg. He's right. Great. Can I get to frag grenades Flash and a sand. You got it. How much is that? Well the sad ones I buy from a local shop here in the city. So I paid from them. I paid 100 solar charging 120. That's pretty high.

The other grenades are 90. What Chuck did you get those from crystals by Joy? Yeah yeah go ahead and give that back so no. Hmm. But why? Because we work with joy. My poor make a profit, come on. Well, I'm fine. Buying some either. We thank you for your patronage all the while about these been trading with you. Oh, he's been fixing the armor pieces with his third album. That's been sort of how much are the recharges. The recharges for each one of those is 150 each 15th.

Okay. Well, clap, if you ever get Me a smart weapons. Let me know. I was interested in that. And then I was sleeping. You're the only smart weapon mate had. Was that one? Which I only took, right? I was talking about would like smart bullets. Just let me know about that, right? Yes. And then you got anything anything on gambling. What? Like a chick like a gambling chip? Or like a book? I could read or something really have a chip. There's a good point real quick.

Let me let me roll, see what I've got. I mean, he did have like, what a salsa chip or something sausages. Yeah, I got it. Taught me some really good dance moves. I rolled a one. So you definitely have it. So why have one gambling chip if one gambling chip and it gives you plus one because I wrote another one now much. You thinking well, it's a basic gambling chips. So it's like, you know, 250 plus 1, it's not bad. Hmm. 250? What's your gamble at right?

Now Remy, if you had to put like an objective number two, it 12 that was a fuck, I would consider. I think we found our ringer, the sanno and retro show is recorded in front of a live studio audience. Join Sano and retro. The oddest couple in night City exclusively on our patreon at patreon.com forward slash no latency. The microwave isn't working. Can you talk to it? What will these to get up to next? I don't why. You keep sticking your finger in that part.

That's not a bowling ball. Oh God. Those brakes really really, really squeak. I'm sorry, I just sit didn't have the time to go. Take a look at I'm gonna go ahead and come back, I'll drive her attitudes, you know what? It's fine. I'm gonna, I'm gonna go ahead and see if I can get up in there real quick and works right before long, the bottom of it being like it's you Corolla the driver side window and gems from the passenger seat cruise control This is ridiculous.

Why why doesn't feel like we're living in a cartoon? Don't stop the car. I can't I'm back here. I'm stopping the car. Brakes screeching to a halt in the middle of the combat zone and of the car, stops it stalls because you've been messing with it and there's silence. Now as part of the city is dangerous quiet. No. Working combat zone is put like

for our listeners. That don't know if you could just catch them up. The combat zone is a place where the police don't spend a lot of time and if you don't watch your back where you're very likely to get shot, how long do you want to spend trying to fix squeaky brakes on your way to this card? Shark hole in the combat zone, all the hail stopped, the car, in the middle of the combat zone. We gotta be quiet if we're gonna make it through here.

You can't have squeak squeak squeak going by now to fix it. That's just like it says that go and meet me down in the desert. I said I would take care of it when we got buy it. I'll get back in the car. All scary and you fix it quickly. Yeah. Okay, let's fix it quickly. I I agree. The combat zone is a dangerous place. A lot of people, I kill her here. Are you gonna fix it? I just said, WD-40.

So in is the most of them are you at 17, you're gonna use a lubricant on softly, excuse to stop things. I'm appalled, we do it, all stopped squeaking, then that's priests are also 17, they successfully gets rid of the squeak. Okay, the plate itself that you'd bet we needed to use was Actually caught up with a bunch of debris and that was kept scraping up against the wheel. So the lubricant help. Remove that debris and now it's not squeaking as much I guess this is like a like a 1960s VW

van like has drum brakes. Like it does not have disc brakes. That makes sense to me. That's true. Oh, you didn't say WD-40. You said, w d for D. Yeah. Oh, right. Nanobots. Yes, Nanobots of replace the whole break. Oh, I totally understand. It's working. It's a coven. Protect. All right, let's go. It's not Nanobots are fairies. These fairy magic. Great. Okay, let's get out of here. I'm Gonna Roll On by these

brakes are extremely responsive. I wrote it for you guys manage to get the car back up and running drive towards sharks cards and which zone is that to the combat zone in the combat zone. But the lower one have you guys considered the fact that the name of the shop is sharks cards and their card sharks? No, only my Harmony I did not even think of that. No, I don't, ignore chart. Well, I'll come back to you Jim. I can't tell if you are being

sarcastic or not. No, my sarcastic toggles, not on right now. You think incredibly sarcastic? Yeah, it's kind of saw knows whole thing, ain't it? So what's the play? I vote, go on and kill everyone but that's what I like doing. Okay, what was that song? Mystic and they also have event. She yeah they do. So they say well, I so here. Here's our dilemma. So annoyed. I am leaning towards your side because we have apparently divulge the location of our

quote unquote secret base. And that's very dangerous for us right now. So killing them might be on the good side. So I start throwing in a bunch of grenades this through the windows. Yeah. But but let's be honest, we can't just start killing everybody. Who knows about the bar because it is an underground bar. So now people aren't going to want to come with.

They find out that people are killing them because they know about it. Underground bar, the puzzle point of us having an underground bar was actually so that we had a secret place to bring Domino back to and not to actually have a bar. I people can know about it, just not people that are enemies of us. Well, they're not really of us as far as stranger, this is strange. As the also, what was working with us? They don't know that they probably do well running you bring up a good point.

So what, what if, what if we go we win more than strangers debt Give it back to them. So this is from stranger. And then we go home with our winnings and the vending machine. And then what reason would they have to come after us? All right. If we don't win with the vending machine, is that it? Could we do two things at once? Saunas, plan could we just steal it welcome. Now, hold on. We started. Okay, I'm just gonna shut up.

No II. Think that it's what you brought up as a good point, then do the thing is, is that we're in the combat zone, correct? Whether it's all violent, you have to fight to get to the tables, anyways? Right, which means there's probably a massive security Force. I'm All right, so I suggest that one or two of us play, while the other two, for the rest of the team proceeds to case The Joint. So that way, we can enact a better plan that I can think of at the moment.

And if there's one thing I've been dying to do for a few sessions. Now, it's to go, all sneak a date, you lack, a few sessions. Those are what I say, you just sessions of. What are you? I like to call our escapades. I like to break them up into what I call sessions. You know, mean nothing except a kind of chapters of our last, okay? I would consider this whole Debacle a chapter, not just like this one session. Well, let's put it this way.

Do you think there's gonna be a? You think we're going to get through this whole eschar current. Escapade, this whole Hast in one session or two sessions, I don't know what that mean. How long is the session? Yes, let's stop getting all super meta in our heads and just it's I'm still in the game. I don't know what you're talking about. Currently. Iona and rabi, you go in and Gamble and me and Jeb go sneak around and try to case the place.

And if things go, south, I have of smoke grenades. And a lot of other grenades that I could use to cause a big distraction. Okay, I got some smoke grenades to Atlanta claim, or I got a claim or two if you want one. Sure. Here's Claymore Mine. Okay? I will blow everything up. But if things go south but I think our objectives are to find out where the vending machine is.

First of all and then possibly gaining a lot of money, getting the trust of these people might, you know, make it so that they reveal, that is the demotivation Zone. What is it called? Combat zone is talking, is the combat zone in the Badlands. No, it's not. Okay, okay. So it's just the like shitty part of town. It's the unpoliced part of town. So, there is no police coverage here. I see, I see you guys are still in the van. What are you gonna do? Romans gonna light a smoke.

Conjure up a pair of sunglasses on his video. Screams media Outlets TV screen as if he's wearing sunglasses, get out. And lo walk his way in outside the front of shots card says you open door. There is a very large. Dude, big guy, he's got a little name. Badge, it says Big Jack. Do I go bald? Yeah. Are you yeah? All right, cool. I'm gonna go ahead and head on in like no weapons. Any points at this weapon chest as a fingerprint scanner on it.

Sure, I'll go ahead and I'll put both Ash and Maria in cyber Can guys got anything else? No matter what you do? He buy me dinner first? No, no, seriously. Are you concerned? Sure. All right. Any Patsy down? Are you hiding anything? No, not on anything. He finds nothing. He was a 19 or you going you know, parking behind the building you guys in the vehicle. I I am getting out of the vehicle as well, but I'm leaving My gun with Vandal, right?

Then do puts your gun in their jacket with a zipper. I'm sorry. I was just making sure my weapons were left with someone. I trusted I was is Vendo coming with us? Yes. Windows. Going with you, okay. They are going to take the car around back. All right. Jab. Let's go park this car somewhere less conspicuous. We're on back, that's where the parking garages but the parking lot. You don't have a garage, maybe a few blocks away, might be preferred. Wear whatever you like. Alright, Madam.

Is it? I don't really like honorifics, but what would you like, until this stuff? But Pasco will pass code is. Do you have any weapons on you? Do not. You can central part though? I do excellent. All right. Do you know, Remi will hold the door open for Ayanna and as the door shuts it it lightly locks behind you.

That's not unnerving. Like a mechanical like a like a mechanical, click or like need a button to reopen, probably as part of the security measure of there being no guns and weapons inside. Okay. When you walk in, there are five tables as some people sitting at one of the tables, it is a quiet night. At one of the tables, there is a guy who's wearing a skull mask? He's not saying anything. And above the bar, there is a turret and above the door that says staff and toilet.

Sorry staff. And wc is another turret. I would like to do an ocular pat-down on the individuals here to see if they are sneaking in any weapons. Sure, bro for it. 19. Yes. No one's really able to conceal anything, you're fairly certain that Eddie has a knife. Because you notice Eddie the trick sitting at one of the tables. What is their policy on real birds? Rail birds meeting people who watch and don't participate.

there is no posted argument, you have to ask There's nothing posted saying that you can't just watch. Okay. Well rummy, I haven't played poker or Jack or whatever. We're going to be playing in quite a long time. I have not seen my family in many years. It may all come back to me, it might not. I've never been in here but I'm really good at Old mate. So you don't know that. I think about it, we might not have been the best choices. What do you think? Should we sit together or should

we sit at Separate Tables? Hmm, I think. Well, it looks like there's only one game going on so we should probably sit at the same table. Probably about double up our chances. Splitting up didn't seem like an help out anything else right? I suppose you're right. It's all right. Once I get some liquor in me I usually get better. So we're going to go join the table with Eddie the trick and the others. Excellent. You guys walk over to that

table. While you guys were chatting, the guy in the skull mask loses a hand, not his actual handy loses, a hand of cards throws down the last of his chips. Fuck this gets up. Pay some extra money into the bar. Knocks back a shot and leaves, and do we recognize that guy at all? Rock, perception. The door closes lightly as he leaves. Click, that's the walk. No. Now, you do not for rolling, a 15 in perception, you do not recognize who that is.

But you sat down at the table and they're in. Front of you, is somebody. You do not recognize wearing a little name badge that says Bates. And Eddie the trick who you do recognize who gives retro a very interesting book senior before. Oh yeah. Where Some, did you work at the race? Race. What race black rice? What's the blood race and bait starts passing out some cards? And we fade it outside to Bendel. Jeb. And so, no arrests are. No. I'm thinking there's gotta be

another way into this place. I mean, just one front door. Come on. Yeah, is there any Windows? Is this a one-story building? Yes. Okay, then you open Windows, any other entrances? There's guys window on the back of the building. Ng. There's a on the back. Very top of the building, there is a big curved glass window and there seems to be a window smaller one that leads to a bathroom with frosted glass over it. And what about the roof was it go.

It's got an air conditioning unit from what you can see, you'd have to get up there, table a bit more of a look. All right, so no throw me up there. Okay, I will go to the. Nope, hold on. Cut that back. Slow. Go. Take a look. Once you go girl. All right, your birdlife. Forget that you have will get you a bird's-eye view at the building. Yeah. A girl was just so you know, Blair event from the bathroom that conditioning unit and some drainage pipes, it's actually

pretty standard. Well, I like them xan's you seeing this. So do you see in there? Vents are usually very small, not somebody, especially with the building. This small probably would not be large enough to crawl through. I am very small. Mmm, maybe even do good girl. All right, I've got an idea. We'll split this. What if we Go in like, we're gonna hold up the place, you understand? We go in, there we go, in guns load locked and loaded.

We make it seem like, we're the ones get her that are going to actually steal the chips or the money or whatever they got on there. I don't know. I'm being sad yet and then the real people doing the Houston. Well, that's our friends on the inside. So they're all focused on us. They're trying to kill us. Us, of course, we're slippery. Bastards will get out of there, no problem. But our friends on the inside cat, wildly, they're distracted by it.

But what I was in the middle of a play, I know. But how are we going to communicate that plan? Now that they're already inside? Oh, I don't know. Throw them a note or something and then we send them. A message will be a little wheel, the tire if we could message them that, We are going to rob the place then we're gonna make it seem like we're robbing the place. They're gonna be the ones that are robbing places. See what I'm doing there. Like, it's a complicated plan.

I feel like that's not a good idea. Van daele. What do you got? Then, that was my best play. I've been thinking about that for two minutes. You'll plan your, you found it. Then I thought I was very small. Okay. Well, that was step. One of the plan you get in. You throw a Bomb, I'll take out the guy on the front. I running, I got the guns, I start Bing Bang. Boom, I'm saying, I'll and then this is the. I've been wanting to say this ever since I was a little kid.

All right, everybody hands in the air. This hairs a holdup. Oh, my donut sound cool. Yes, but Our friends are already inside. Exactly, they're gonna do, they're gonna get us. This is kind of a left-field idea. I'm not sure how it how. I mean, this goes back to my plan of kill everybody. So if we just robbed the place and kill everybody, then we can just actually robbed the place, except we're not the ones. Robbing the place. I understand Vanessa, it's just sends a message.

That just says the word. All right, what help. Okay. Okay. Back. Can't talk in game. Okay, we have three plants. Okay, one send Vendo through the vents to fake Rob, the place. No, it would know, we're really robbed when it but just the people that seem like the Rob and I are gonna be the ones that are doing the actual Robin to rob the place. Three kill everybody, and also robbed the place. I don't see why we can't do a big old conglomeration, all them plans, okay?

So then Del you. Oh n, check it out first. Okay, and then when you give the signal, we will just go in with a flash flash grenades and our smoke bomb base. Rob the place. Do you want me to try and open the bathroom window? Sure. We can go in through the back. It's not a bad idea. All right. You fixed me up onto the roof. Yes, I left window up, right. Roll. Athletics. Don't need to boost. You have a power leg. Oh yeah. That's right. I don't need a personal to be

cool. Why are you doing this? I've got my leg, I'm gonna use my leg, okay, they rolled a 10 and a 3 and they jump onto the roof, they rolled a crit. So when they land on the roof, the actuator lets out a little bit of air and it cushions the fall and no one hears them land on the roof. Oof the foot, then latches into the side and they flick it up with their toe and they're bent just opens. They jump down into the

bathroom. And then the bathroom window opens and their hand comes out with a big thumbs up, the signal wonderful, good job. And oh, thanks Santo. I'ma be honest. I forgot what we're supposed to be doing when when they give us the signal. Is this one? We are we taking out the guy on the front, the hands that hand light waves you in let's sneak in see what's there scout out the place and then Now, when I give a signal of a thumbs up, we just start killing everybody or

book the football. Hold on, hold on. I love to play it. Love it. Just one. Minor tweak to the idea before he started killing folks. Can I place a hands in the air? This hairs hold up. Yes, you can be okay. We can pretend to hold your first Diane's and thank you. I just want to say, you know I think we really been good friends for a while now and I appreciate you. And Sad. Jeb you guys coming. Awesome job guys. We do Springs closed. Sets we can be teammates. Okay, we are team mates.

We do not have to be the best of friends Tara together. That sounds for that sounds great. All right, let's go Sloane's. Swooping down. Almost all baby. Oh, you cute little thing. So, do you guys go into the bathroom window? Yes, we go into the best guys crawl into the bathroom window. And now you Sano Jeb. And then Del are all in a single occupancy bathroom together. I will listen on the corner. To see if there's anything on the other side. What do you hear? Roll perception?

Okay, don't open the door yet, let me listen. Sixteen. There's no one on the other side of the door. What'd you hear nothing? I smell. Holy open the door and peek out. You see a whole way. And in this whole way, it's not nothing really much but there is a black light on the ceiling. There's a really creepy black light painting of a ghost on the wall, the hills that, I don't know. There's no security cameras or feeds or any weird Tech here. There's no cameras in this whole way.

Okay Emily that's weird. Right us on to this money. Okay, let's try to go into the office. I guess and ice. See if someone's in there. But let me let me take the phone on this one. Ok, to it? Start early. I thought you'd never ask 20 as you sneak up to the door, you crack it ever, so slightly, and they're in the room sitting at

the desk. Is a very large man, the Hat on sideways, it says shark on it and he's smoking a big fuck-off, cigar his legs under desk and he's Talking to someone on some sort of device. He's in the office. Yep. Sitting at the desk. All right. Same Elders. There's just one guy in their math. Like we could take problem is I'm I mean, I gotta I got this combat shovel, but I do good with it. Otherwise, my girls are kind of layout. Is he can go in there and snicker-snack.

I can attempt a surprise attack but I cannot approach him from this angle. He's looking at the door now. We'll if we had some sort of get this distraction, let me, I'll just back out. I'll go straight in. Through the front door and site with me, stay with me. Me. Hey, hands up this. Here's a holdup. Come on Sal. Give it somebody jab. If you want to try and kill yourself by doing a fake robbery, as a distraction, I sound like properly. This whole thing.

Fake real robbery. Then I am going to let get past the body guard at the front on your own. Hey we'll let you do this. Go for it. If this is your dream, you must follow it. Are you sure? No. But Robins, you would anyway. Okay? I will wait here. And when the shark comes out of his office, I will incapacitate him. I love it. All right, what I was gonna say way for will signal, but I think you know what the signals gonna

And you have some I'm to talk to the people at the table. Wow. You know, beginner's luck I guess, right. So like pretty much all. I got to do is just build a hand off of the river, right? That's it.
